His diverse body of work has been exhibited at major institutions worldwide and in 2001  he was given a solo retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Cage Paintings  conceived as a single coherent group and first displayed at the Venice Biennale in 2007  pay homage to the American avant-garde composer John Cage (1912-1992)  who famously declared I have nothing to say and Im saying it. Richter  equally suspicious of ideologies  shies away from giving psychological interpretations of his paintings  preferring to allow viewers and critics to make up their own minds. In this strikingly illustrated volume  critic Robert Storr considers the importance of The Cage Paintings within Richters practice and within the wider context of abstract art. A series of extraordinary photographs document the development of each of these monumental canvases  giving unique insight into Richters artistic approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908690411573,"sku":"ByrdShop_1854378562","price":491.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781854378569.jpg?v=1794052192","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cage-6-paintings-by-gerhard-richter-9781854378569","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
